From The Tree To Corbin

[Verse 1] Cold dirt Under my back Roots for a pillow Sky for a blanket Breath like smoke Heart on E Shopping cart dreams Sleeping under that tree People walk past Eyes straight ahead I counted the cracks Like prayers in my head Then one small step Felt bigger than me Got up Said my name Walked out of that tree [Chorus] From the tree to Corbin I’m still here Fifty‑five days Of thinking clear From the ground to a doorway With my own key I’m clean I’m sober But the miracle’s me From the tree to Corbin I chose to believe [Verse 2] First night Shaking like rain Hands still hunting For old pain Coffee in a foam cup Trembling knees Strangers saying “welcome” Like family Chores on the whiteboard Bed that was mine Hope on a schedule Day at a time Look in the mirror Don’t hate who I see Say “You came this far Stay here with me” [Chorus] From the tree to Corbin I’m still here Fifty‑five days Of facing fear From the ground to a doorway With my own key I’m clean I’m sober But the miracle’s me From the tree to Corbin I chose to believe [Bridge] I remember that branch Digging into my side Rain in my shoes Nowhere to hide Now I fold clean clothes On a secondhand bed I got quiet nights I got dreams instead (oh yeah) [Chorus] From the tree to Corbin I’m still here Fifty‑five days Turned into a year From the ground to a doorway With my own key I’m clean I’m sober And I’m learning to be me From the tree to Corbin I chose to believe From the tree to Corbin I came back to me
